Spontaneous fetal femoral fractures are uncommon in the paediatric setting. The major clinical presentations of a spontaneous fetal femoral fracture are femoral angulation, shortness of the femur and even a marked fracture line. This case report describes a spontaneous fetal femoral fracture of the right femur, which was detected by routine ultrasonography during the 19th week of gestation in a 24-year-old woman. On routine follow-up visits, the angulation of the right femur in the fetus gradually improved. A caesarean section was undertaken at 39 weeks +5 days of gestation and an X-ray was taken on the second day after birth, which showed that the fracture had healed and the callus had been absorbed. The lengths of the two femurs of the baby were not equal; the right femur was 84 mm, which was 11 mm shorter than the left femur. In cases like this, postnatal follow-up is essential so that an operation can be carried out in a timely manner when the deformity is apparent.

“…The diagnosis is often made at birth and gives rise to serious problem of medical liability. In fact, it is impossible in case of obstetric maneuvers or associated instrumental extraction, to distinguish spontaneous depressed skull fractures from those induced by trauma [1], even if these last ones are significantly more likely associated to intracranial lesions [2].…”

Congenital skull fractures of newborn are rare and create medico-legal problems. Their management is controversial. Between surgery considered too aggressive and uncertain conservative attitude, reduction by suction cup or breast pump is an alternative. The authors report their experience through a case of successful resolution of a congenital depressed skull fracture using a suction cup in a newborn at 13 day of life followed by a literature review. This technique avoids the usual complications of surgery and reduces the anxiety of parents related to surgery. It also avoids the anxiety of having a newborn with a recessed skull and a conservative attitude with uncertain outcome.
